Can You Get To That

(album: Maggot Brain - 1971)

I once had a life, or rather
Life had me
I was one among many
Or at least I seemed to be

Well, I read an old quotation
In a book just yesterday
Said, "Gonna reap just what you sow
The debts you make you have to pay"
Can you get to that

Can you get (I wanna know)
I want to know if you can get to that (hey, get to that)
Can you get (can you get to that) (I wanna know)
I want to know if you can get to that

I recollect with a-mixed emotions
All the good times we used to have
But you were making preparations for the coming separation
And you blew everything we had

When you base your love on credit
And your loving days are done
Checks you signed with a-love and kisses
Later come back signed "insufficient funds"
Yeah, get to that

Can you get (I wanna know)
I want to know if you can get to that (hey, get to that)
Can you get (can you get to that) (I wanna know)
I want to know if you can get to that
Can you get (I wanna know)
I want to know if you can get to that (hey, get to that)
Can you get (can you get)
I want to know if you can get to that
Can you get
I want to know if you can get to that

When you base your life on credit
And your loving days are done
Checks you signed with a-love and kisses
Later come back signed "insufficient funds"
Y'all get to that

Can you get (I wanna know)
I want to know if you can get to that (hey, get to that)
Can you get (can you get to that) (I wanna know)
I want to know if you can get to that
Can you get (I wanna know)
I want to know if you can get to that (hey, get to that)
Can you get (can you get)
I want to know
